I got hydral fatigue and after protein products I still couldn't fix it. Then I realized humectant products were making it worse. As soon as I stopped using high humectant products and I started sealing my hair, it got healthy I also realized during this period my hair wasn't as protein sensitive as I thought it was. So I started adding proteins to my hair routine and my hair is happier than it ever was
Great info! Nappyfu put me on to prepooing with coconut oil and I think it’s helped me to maintain my hair’s moisture/protein balance. I’m low porosity, but not protein sensitive and I also incorporate a strengthening deep conditioner into my regimen once a month. There’s a lot of good ones that are also moisturizing, so it’s fairly easy to find one that works for you.
So I did a prepoo with coconut oil for the first time today and my hair is drying so much quicker! Normally it takes 2 days for my hair to dry in a braid out but now it's only been half a day and it's almost completely dry which is amazing! It's also more shiny.
I've overconditioned my hair because when I wash my hair weekly, I only use hydrating hair masks- most don't contain protein. I want to start using a more balanced conditioner, as you suggested. For now, I'll you ORS or Creme of Nature Keratin conditioner to give me a boost of protein on my next wash day. Ironically, I used coconut oil to seal my hair this week, (haven't done in years) so that should help. Great topic!
Thank you for sharing! Everything you said are facts! As some who has first hand experienced overconditioning, I wish I could have watched something like this instead of having to learn by experience. Your content is so important and valuable.
My hair felt like this when I dried conditioning overnight, not a good feeling. I like using the Mielle Babassu Deep Conditioner both strengthening and moisturizing. If that’s not on hand I like to incorporate my Ayurvedic powders into my deep conditioners. It feels amazing
I'm glad I found your video. I observed that in my hair there is a lot of splitting along the hair strand, and then there are areas where its intact. Is this hydral fatigue?
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been dealing with hygral fatigue for probably 2 years now and I had no idea what was happening with my hair and because it couldn’t accept products, I would just try to add in more products. It was like products went straight through my hair but never penetrated actual strands except for coconut oil, it was the only thing; and even how you said you have to let it dry, I’ve noticed that when I wet my hair before putting products in, my strands do an even worse job of accepting the product but when I put coconut oil when it’s drier, it feels way better. I am now convinced that this is what’s wrong with my hair and now I know where to go from here. You are a literally life saver, I was this close 🤏🏾 to cutting it all off and still not know what to do with it💀
Same here, its been around 2yrs!! I'm looking forward to trying the tip on coconut oil next wash day because l definitely feel the weakness when my hair is wet.
Mizz Mention yes. Definitely get the thick consistency I think that is what does it for my hair (I personally use the blue magic brand but you could use others as long as it’s thick) also I have done a few protein treatments and I’m starting to make it a regular thing now-every 6 weeks. I use the aphogee brand and it works great on my hair. Also I’ve just recently heard that the coconut oil works with the protein in your hair so it that is probably why it helps so much. So in conclusion, our hair is crying out for protein girl! 😭
@@annanexton4682 Lol, yes l think I'm seeing that now. I've been using protein bi weekly for about 6wks, so 3xs. I'm using the real protein treatment by Green Beauty. In my infinite wisdom I'd been using less than the recommended amount because my hair is fine and the horror stories of hard hair scared me 😱. Last wash day l upped the amount and got even better results. Do you mind if l ask what hair type do you have? I have fine 4c high porosity hair... my struggle is real!! 🤦🏽♀️
Mizz Mention yea, tbh I feel like my hair is all over the place 😭 but it’s definitely fine, and for the curl pattern I’d say it’s around 3b/3c but probably mostly 3c, and medium porosity (I think) the porosity thing is kinda confusing and especially hard to tell with this hygral fatigue going on lol 😭💀
@@annanexton4682 Yep can definitely relate to the "all over the place" lol. I've always been hi po so nothing new there! But for a good while l was focused on getting moisture into my hair, when it's pretty much the last thing it needs 🙄🤷🏽♀️ Also if you feel your cuticles stay open (adding to cuticle damage and tangling) look into aloe vera juice as a rinse. Mine do and l have just bought some in preparation for next wash day 🤞🏾 Good luck hun 🤗🌹
I've got a question so does that mean if we just leave the hair and don't wash it with water it fixes hydral fatigue? if so how long do we leave it dry for please answer
I watched a few videos on the topic and your video is definitely the best. It’s very well explained. I’m currently going through it and I even had hair falling out. It’s getting better due to black tea rinse but I still experience hair breakage. I was about to buy the aphogee 2min reconstructor because of the other videos even though I hate the ingredients in that product. But now that I watched your video, I will simply follow your advice and see how it goes. Thank you very much!
Would hygral fatigue make hair that is normally heavy suddenly feel very WEIGHTLESS, mushy and overly soft? I'm afraid to put coconut oil in before washing because it would moisturize my hair and I'm not sure if it's moisture overload or hygral fatigue. Also, then it takes a lot of extra water to get the coconut oil out. I'm so confused. The hair is mushy then when I put shampoo in it instantly separates into a stringy, limp web?
@@ALove4Me Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. I did the aphogee two minute reconstructer about a month ago and it seemed to make it worse because of all the moisturizers in it I think. Almost like they overtook the protein. Then two nights ago I did a homemade gelatin treatment and it made the hair even more weightless feeling it seemed. Perhaps I need the aphogee 2 step.
Erin Vandalayyy I did a couple of different protein treatments and am experiencing the same thing. My hair feels scary soft and light in spite of the protein. I did a good clarifying shampoo (to counter the rich conditioners I used following the protein treatments) and have backed off of my leave in conditioner and just put small amounts of LUS wavy all in one and Ecoslay Orange Marmalade and it feels infinitely better. Still off but improved. If you figure out the key to balancing things out I’d love to know! ✌🏽🧡
@@kristensmithcabrera Someone on another video said that they figured out that they actually over moisturized "with" protein...and that they had moisture AND protein overload. So they started washing with only water and their hair was feeling stronger. I don't know if this would help, but I'm considering it. I don't like getting it wet now because it feels so limp. This is really hard to go through. I will let you know if I find the balance and you let me know as well. Did you do the aphogee 2 step protein treatment?
Thank you so much for this video! I couldn't figure out why my hair felt like it was heavy whenever I wet it or wash it. I have low porosity hair so I've been just saturating my hair w/ my spray bottle and overnight conditioned sometimes AND used heat to deep conditon to make sure that it was getting proper moisture but I never thought it would damage my hair
Do you still suggest using coconut oil as a prepoo? I’m starting to wonder if this is part of what my hair is going through from implementing the no raw oil’s & butters methodology?
Would a coconut and olive oil mix work? I've tried coconut oil by itself previously and it made my hair like straw. I prefer to oil prepoo over conditioner prepoo. So now I use olive oil based prepoo with some coconut, argan jbco, grapeseed, sweet almond and jojoba with a hot head. I only use that if am using shampoo. I just used The Doux One Love cowash and it was very nice because you could leave it in for a deep conditioner and it has a soft lather. Thank you for the video.😀
Well didn't you just answer my question without trying!! I recently came to the realisation l must be suffering hygral fatigue. I gave myself a protein treatment which has stopped say 90% of the shedding but feel like l probably need more. As l add protein to my conditioner l will add in some more next wash day. My hair is definitely at its weakest when its wet so the tip on coconut oil is most welcome. I tend to wash my hair bi weekly trying to avoid manipulation and water. Having listened to you l think I'm still wetting my hair too much lol New subbie!!
Happy Saturday! I wanted to know if you've ever tried the Naptural85 twistout method where she flat twists horizontally and stretches the hanging strand across her head. She's done it on wet and stretched hair. A few other youtubers have tried her technique and done videos. I wonder how it would look on your hair.
Can l use castor oil as a substitute for coconut oil? What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend specifically or where le can l find the one you had in the video?
Thank you so much I have been struggling with what i feel is hygral fatigue now for 3 weeks. i have been having panic attacks through the day. I was washing my hair daily using a deep conditioning moisture mask and allowing it to air dry its winter here, so it took a while to dry . For the past 3 weeks, i have lost my natural curl pattern. My hair feels fluffy and frizzy, and the strands feel finer , i have done multiple proiten treatments and have stopped washing it daily . Will my natural hair texture ever come back ???😢😢
How do I not wet my hair My wash and goes can be pretty sometimes but not really anymore I’ve been trimming and my curls are starting to come back but .. not wetting my hair? My hair mats regardless of a cap or a scarf my curls stay if I help them revive with water, leave in and oil but once I lay down on them they don’t bounce back they stick to my head like a hat I don’t understand how other natural people keep the length and curls without water
How exactly do you do the prepoo with coconut oil? How much do you use? On the ends? Should it touch your scalp? How long do you leave it on? Does it wash out ok? I have fine hair and a scalp that likes to get greasy and I’m afraid I’ll be an oil ball
I love the Jason jojoba conditioner. Picked it up from Marshall’s. On the more expensive side is the Redken Extreme Mega Mask. They both are great but the Redken mask might be more of a benefit since it’s a protein mask vs a hydrating conditioner with protein in it.
Would deep conditioning with Hair mayo work? I don't really have money right now to buy any protein conditioner and I only have hair mayo right now; would that work for the next couple of weeks?
I think my hair has hygral fatigue. When it dries, it’s limp, mushy, no curl definition and it make huge clumps. But once it’s fully dry, it’s dry, stiff and frizzy. I used to use lot of deep conditioner but now i use protein masks but it does nothing :/
@@macarenaante22 Not yet. I stopped using too much conditionner because even tho it has protein, it also has a lot of moisturizing ingredients. I ordered aphogee two step protein treatment online and i hope it will work!
Girl is that favorite deep conditioner by hask.I live for my monoi coconut oil products by hask.I just used the nourishing cream feels incredible!!!!Im working on hygral fatigue at the moment and i had no idea coconut oil is a good protien im new to all of this.Luckily my hair loves anything coconut especially coconut oil and castor oil as well
I feel like the section of my hair that’s mushy (left back crown area) is spreading over to the right side of my head which is worrying me. I’ve done aphogee 2 min treatments every wash day (weekly) in only that specific section of my hair but it doesn’t seem to work 😅. Maybe it’s because its only been about a month but I just hope that it’ll fix soon.
Great video however I have a couple of questions: Are you applying the coconut oil as if pre-pooing? If I do wash (co-wash) my hair daily would I use this each time? I do use a protein/ moisture treatment weekly (Mielle Babassu) . Now let me say that I only do this sort of co-wash when I wear a wash n go style otherwise it is my regular weekly wash routine. Also does sitting under the dryer count as far as leaving the hair wet before adding more water, hopefully that makes sense. I will apply the coconut oil prior to washing my hair, my strands are fine enough without adding anymore issues to its strands. My. Hair will get frizzy however I am thinking it the nature of transitioning strands from black to gray. I will try some of the tips given and not wash or wet my hair totally when wearing this style daily. I did see in one of the articles it stated a very light mist should not be too bad, I just like my style to look fresh when I do wear it! Thanks again
such a helpful video!! thank you so much for this information. I just have a question and I would really appreciate an answer-I over moisturized for a really long time (like several years) and I'm now trying to repair the damage. I'm wondering if it's normal if it takes more than 3-5 weeks to see a big improvement?? and if it's possible to see any improvement at all if you have a lot of water damage?? thank you again for this video you are the greatest xoxo:)
@@ALove4Me Im experiencing hygral fatigue right now, is it possible to recover using only light protein products, even if it takes a while or do I need to use a strong protein product? 😭 I'm scared to use ahogee 😭😭😭
Hey, thank you for you informative and clear videos!! Im in this stage of HF now for already 2 months. Indeed coconut oil helps! Since i don't carry around my jar of coco ALL the time, i really like to know if you would also agree with using pre poo treatments, from particular brands. Im looking for the thicker ones, containing butters and oils. should do the job? or do i REALLY need to look for coconut in it, to bind to the proteins?
I came back here because my hair was super mush and soft after deep conditon with the Aussie Moist 3 min Miracle. (I only did it for 15 min with heat) I did use the whole bottle which probably weighed my hair down. My hair is hard to comb through. Strengthening Conditoners make my hair rough and brittle. So I stray away from them. But maybe I need a more balancing conditoner. I might start small use the vo5 moisture milk. Maybe try mixing ors replenishing conditioner with Aussie Moist. I might need to try the Giovanni 50:50, a more balancing conditoner.
This is the only hygral fatigue video I actually think isn't absolutely nonsense. Just washing your hair or going for a swim isn't going to give you hygral fatigue!!! People that have constantly damp hair will. I think just wetting hair daily and letting it air dry is fine. I think people go overboard with moisturizer and actually do more harm than good. Letting the cuticle expand and contract naturally is key, manipulating that and essentially having your hair constantly heavily damp with no hopes of natural evaporation is going to damage hair. I know they say water is a key moisturizer, but does the body's natural oil, sebum aid in moisterizing by trapping water in the strands? I don't think it does...sebum is all lipids, not any water. So, how does it keep your hair "hydrated?"
I got hydral fatigue and after protein products I still couldn't fix it. Then I realized humectant products were making it worse. As soon as I stopped using high humectant products and I started sealing my hair, it got healthy
I also realized during this period my hair wasn't as protein sensitive as I thought it was. So I started adding proteins to my hair routine and my hair is happier than it ever was
How did you find products that were not high humectants?? I am finding I have the same problem. What did you use??
What products are those
What products did you use
@@misslazydaisy80 i believe she means products that are moisturizing that contain proteins in them (to balance out the humectants)
What did you seal your hair with?

I did see in one of the articles it stated a very light mist should not be too bad, I just like my style to look fresh when I do wear it! Thanks again
Thank you for giving us such informatiye videos.
such a helpful video!! thank you so much for this information. I just have a question and I would really appreciate an answer-I over moisturized for a really long time (like several years) and I'm now trying to repair the damage. I'm wondering if it's normal if it takes more than 3-5 weeks to see a big improvement?? and if it's possible to see any improvement at all if you have a lot of water damage?? thank you again for this video you are the greatest xoxo:)
3-5 weeks isn’t too long. But I would use a strong treatment like the Aphogee two-step to help bring balance to the hair strand quicker
@@ALove4Me Im experiencing hygral fatigue right now, is it possible to recover using only light protein products, even if it takes a while or do I need to use a strong protein product? 😭 I'm scared to use ahogee 😭😭😭
@@liltop9657 me too. Any updates?
Great info 😁
Hygral fatigue can be summed up as “doing the most”
😂
My hair takes days to dry tho... I'm not sure what to do. Any advice? I should say that my hair is very fine, medium density, extremely low porosity.
Use heat via a diffuser on a blow dryer or hooded dryer to dry your hair faster
@@ALove4Me ok thank you for replying so quickly. I'll try that. ❤️
Thanks 4 the info
Thank you.
Hey, thank you for you informative and clear videos!! Im in this stage of HF now for already 2 months. Indeed coconut oil helps! Since i don't carry around my jar of coco ALL the time, i really like to know if you would also agree with using pre poo treatments, from particular brands.
Im looking for the thicker ones, containing butters and oils. should do the job? or do i REALLY need to look for coconut in it, to bind to the proteins?
U need straight coconut oil to get the effect I speak of in the video
I came back here because my hair was super mush and soft after deep conditon with the Aussie Moist 3 min Miracle. (I only did it for 15 min with heat) I did use the whole bottle which probably weighed my hair down. My hair is hard to comb through.
Strengthening Conditoners make my hair rough and brittle. So I stray away from them. But maybe I need a more balancing conditoner. I might start small use the vo5 moisture milk. Maybe try mixing ors replenishing conditioner with Aussie Moist. I might need to try the Giovanni 50:50, a more balancing conditoner.
Or maybe my hair hates deep conditioning with silicones and mineral oil and need a more runny conditoner.
Does sweating cause hygral fatigue?
No
Great video. When you have to give disclaimers to people not to ignore their allergies! Lol.
All the disclaimers
What about people who have training like 2 hours in the water everyday?
Thank you so much for the info
This is the only hygral fatigue video I actually think isn't absolutely nonsense. Just washing your hair or going for a swim isn't going to give you hygral fatigue!!! People that have constantly damp hair will. I think just wetting hair daily and letting it air dry is fine. I think people go overboard with moisturizer and actually do more harm than good. Letting the cuticle expand and contract naturally is key, manipulating that and essentially having your hair constantly heavily damp with no hopes of natural evaporation is going to damage hair. I know they say water is a key moisturizer, but does the body's natural oil, sebum aid in moisterizing by trapping water in the strands? I don't think it does...sebum is all lipids, not any water. So, how does it keep your hair "hydrated?"
Funny I just watched a video that was totally against prepoo. I prepoo.
I'm against pre-pooing just cause someone tells you too, but if there is a reason that benefits the hair I don't see why someone shouldn't.
